You will note that by failing to name the reality show or the producer, the French based news agency reporting this story, AFP, used better judgment and extended the reality show producers more consideration than the show extended to Chris Rock. This will protect the producer from the firestorm of criticism that would surely come from this.

But I'd bet a penny that the identity of the show WILL be revealed by an AMERICAN news organization.
